I'm a Creative Director and Packaging Designer with over 20 years of international experience in strategic brand building and high-end design. My 360° vision goes beyond the visual identity: I understand formulation, consumer psychology in FMCG, and the practicalities of print production. I’ve led end-to-end branding and packaging for cosmetics and CBD brands, created visual universes from concept to shelf, and directed photography, lighting, and digital retouching. I thrive on turning visionary concepts into tangible products that perform on the retail shelf.
